Cover art for Black And Blue lyrics by Snow Patrol

Black and blue...I'm guessing he's been bruised. Maybe punched because the girl he's been visiting is out of bounds. But as a sort of addiciton, he keeps comibg back for more. To me, the guitars throughout this song sound like the two are having quick, rough almost painful sex trying to get it done before anyone discovers them. As they kae love, both sink into a perpetually dark hole, which they both know they will never be able to crawl out of. Purely my interpratation but that's what Snow Patrol gives us. Freedom, to think and do with their perfect words what you will.
